Private pickleball lessons in Milpitas, California

Jon is a great Pickleball coach! He takes the time to explain why we are learning certain skills and strategies so that you can understand better. Jon does a thorough evaluation of your level early on so that he can put together individual lesson plans and a overall big picture program. He sees when you get something quickly and moves on and also when you don't and stays with that until you do with great patience and encouragement. I love his texted "recap" of each lesson so I can use it as a reminder to work on what we learned in rec games until our next lesson. If you want to get better at Pickleball, go see Jon!

Jon is a true gem! I started attending the Hub's pickleball beginner socials about a year ago and Jon was our fearless leader. He is always so patient and kind when instructing us not only on the rules of the game but also giving us tips and tricks to improve it as we gained skills and knowledge. He would sometimes play against us to improve our skills. A group of us took a few private lessons from him and I can say that my serve was transformed after just one session! Fun to work with, full of knowledge about the game and a great coach!

Jon was my first pickleball coach for a good part of one year. My simple goal was to strive to improve my shot skills to unlock my potential through self-awareness. Jon truly enhanced my development as a pickleball player by focusing on the fundamentals. Jon organized coaching lessons focused on repetitive drills, drills and more drills – starting with dinks, drops, resets, punch volleys, flick volleys, speed ups, deep serves, footwork, positioning, placement and court awareness. Jon’s clear explanations and demonstrations was key to learning. Jon kept me motivated, inspired and encouraged. Jon quickly adapted to my learning style with good and calm talk that effectively helped me during drills to reinforce correct form & habit. Jon observed early on that I was reaching & hitting off-balanced more than I should; afterwards I became more conscious & deliberate about moving my feet to avoid stretching. I learned about my habits that influenced the changes that made me more confident. My sessions with Jon became an enjoyable journey of self-discovery which exceeded my goal.
